Chapter 131 Waltz With Mr. Vittorio
Anna felt uneasy in her heart, but she suddenly found Giorgio somewhat comforting, especially since he treated Charlie well.
On the other hand, the man before her seemed completely inhuman, like a cold zombie.
She instinctively moved closer to Giorgio and looked away.
Enrico effortlessly swept his gaze over Anna, showing no expression whatsoever.
It was evident that he didn't like Anna.
"Heart of the Sea was mentioned by Katherine on social media tonight as a favorite. Remember to bid on it," he said in a casual tone, merely reminding Anna because of Katherine. …
Only then did she have the qualification to stand here, by Giorgio's side.
Anna wasn't stupid and of course understood. She hadn't thought of coveting anything or paid attention to it. She smiled slightly at the surrounding cameras and waved.
Enrico observed in silence.
"Tom," Giorgio whispered. "Did you look into what I told you to?"
"Yes."
"Well?"
Tom cleared his throat. "No one in the underworld had dealt with anyone from the Sunshine Group. It's safe to say they were not involved in illegal activities."
Giorgio remained indifferent and turned his attention to Mr. Brown who was speaking with some other guests. "What about him?"
Tom followed his gaze and said, "It's unlikely that Mr. Brown would know anything since he was married into the Glorian family not that long ago."
He placed his hands on his hips and continued. "Giorgio, I know what you're looking for, but it's likely that no one else knew what Renaldo Glorian was up to. There are more pressing matters, like the detective."
He nodded but didn't say a word. No average gang would have had the guts to invade his warehouse and start a fight, no matter how much Renaldo paid them. There was a piece of the puzzle missing, and he didn't know what it was.
"What a coincidence, you're all here."
At that moment, a sudden voice rang out.
Anna turned her head and saw…
A graceful man in a fine checkered suit with gold-rimmed glasses approached.
Giuseppe!
He appeared refined and nothing like the man who had lusted after her in the villa that afternoon.
If it weren't for the lingering pain on her neck, Anna would've thought she was dreaming, tarnishing him.
She stood frozen in place, feeling awkward and scared.
Giuseppe, on the other hand, lightly smiled, stopping in front of the group and greeting them one by one.
"Giorgio, Katherine, Mr. Moretti, Tom."
"Have you all noticed how Katherine has become even more beautiful since getting married?"
As soon as he spoke, the conversation naturally turned to Anna, causing everyone to subconsciously look at her.
Indeed, unlike Katherine's maturity, Anna had delicate skin, a good figure, and youthful liveliness, making it easier for men to be captivated by her.
Enrico believed that it was this innocent appearance that tempted Giorgio.
Tom, worried that Giuseppe might figure it out, chuckled and said, "Of course, a newlywed woman is like a sweet peach soaked in honey, sweeter and more beautiful. Giuseppe, why don't you consider getting married too?"
Giuseppe chuckled, staring intensely at Anna.
"As for me? I wouldn't mind marrying a woman as beautiful and enchanting as Katherine, but unfortunately, I haven't come across one."
His words were deep and unabashedly revealing his affection.
Anna tightened her grip in her palm, again thinking about that despicable man!
She dared to conclude that he must be holding some evidence in his hands to brazenly threaten and insinuate in front of Giorgio!
She pretended not to see or understand.
Giorgio, being a man, saw through the desire in Giuseppe's eyes at a glance and took an interest in Anna.
This realization displeased him, and he spoke coldly, "Haven't come across one? No rush, I'll arrange an introduction for you later. With a thousand or a hundred options, there will surely be someone you like."
This was torment!
Giuseppe's lips twitched slightly, diverting his gaze from Anna. "Thank you for your concern, I won't trouble you any further."
As soon as he finished speaking, the music began.
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses elegantly and said, "The auction is about to start, and if I recall correctly, Katherine will present the opening ballet performance, which will undoubtedly be beautiful. Let's look forward to it together."
Opening dance? Ballet performance!
Anna had no idea about this, no one had told her when she came.
Giorgio was also unaware of this matter and looked towards Katherine's assistant who had been waiting nearby.
Catching his gaze, the assistant immediately ran over. "Mr. Vittorio, is something the matter?"
"What's the deal with ballet?"
Assistant Linda quickly responded, "Tonight's charity gala is highly anticipated. Katherine wants to make a contribution and build her reputation, so she decided to perform a dance. Katherine, you should go backstage to change your clothes."
Giorgio thought it over.
So Giuseppe knew something that he didn't know?
And what was Giuseppe trying to suggest with his deliberate words?
Anna didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment. She strongly suspected that Katherine was setting traps for her everywhere, deliberately trying to make her look bad.
It was well known that Katherine had been studying ballet since she was a child and had won many prestigious awards. She was very professional.
As for Anna, although she learned ballet with Penny for a while, she only had superficial knowledge and would definitely be exposed.
Knowing Katherine's personality, she must have already spread this news privately. Many reporters know about it. Linda is still here, would she deny it?
What should she do? She tugged on Giorgio's wrist, seeking his help with her gaze.
Giorgio collected his thoughts, his gaze coldly sweeping over Giuseppe, and he embraced Anna's waist.
"Instead of ballet, she prefers to waltz with me. If we want to do charity, it's natural for the husband and wife to do it together."
With these cold words, he left with Anna directly.
His steps were steady, his posture noble, emitting an undeniable presence.
Giuseppe stared at the backs of the two as they left. His smile gradually blurred under the lights.
Backstage, in the dressing room.
Anna looked outside, seeing no one, she quickly closed the door and frowned at Giorgio.
"What should we do? Do we really have to waltz?"
Giorgio locked his gaze on her, his eyes like a vast ocean, deep and dark.
"You can't?" He asked.
"I can." During middle school, as an outstanding student, she participated in a city-wide talent show and learned how to waltz. She also worked as a waltz teacher for young children for a period of time.
"But with so many people, I'm not that professional. I'm afraid of making mistakes."
At that moment, her voice trembled, fully revealing the nervousness and anxiety of an ordinary girl facing a big stage.
Giorgio scrutinized her with an increasingly sharp gaze.
For a full five seconds, he asked a question that didn't seem to connect with her answer, "Have you met Giuseppe?"
The sudden question, filled with suspicion and even certainty, caught Anna off guard.
Of course, she had met Giuseppe, and it was in such a violent manner.
What did he discover?
Seeing her stunned, Giorgio's doubts turned into certainty.
He asked because ever since Giuseppe appeared, she had been avoiding eye contact with him. Giuseppe's conversations revolved around her and carried some kind of implication.
Her expression at the moment gave him the answer.
"You won't say? Should I investigate?"
His voice turned cold and carried a hint of anger.
Anna's face turned pale, and she shook her head.
"No, that's not what I meant. I have met him. It was today when we went to the supermarket outside the neighborhood to buy things. I forgot my bank card, and he happened to..."
"Upon meeting him, he paid for me, and there was no further contact. I was just curious about how you knew," she lied.
After all, if the truth were to be revealed, it shouldn't be her. Otherwise, Katherine would hate her to death.
Giorgio's skeptical gaze did not waver as he raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
"Yes! Of course it is! You're not unaware that every person from your Vittorio family is dangerous. I barely had time to hide," she replied.
